52وَنادَيناهُ مِن جانِبِ الطّورِ الأَيمَنِ وَقَرَّبناهُ نَجِيًّاMuhammad AsadAnd [remember how] We called upon him from the right-hand slope of Mount Sinai1 and drew him near [unto Us] in mystic communion,I.e., to the right side - from the standpoint of Moses, as he was facing Mount Sinai (Tabari). However, it is much more probable that the term "right side" has here, as elsewhere in the Qur'an, the abstract connotation of "blessedness" (cf. note 25 on 74:39). For a fuller account of God's calling Moses to prophethood, see 20:9 ff.
